CHAPTER 3<br />

Purcell<br />

In this tutorial, you will learn how to copy and enter a real piece, namely Thou<br />

Knowest, Lord, the Secrets by the British composer Henry Purcell (1659-1695).<br />

The piece is found in the Examples folder in the <strong>Igor</strong> <strong>Engraver</strong> folder. It will take<br />

you about one hour and a half to work through the tutorial. Below are several<br />

good reasons to do it anyway:<br />

• You will have a look at the Piece settings window<br />

• You will speed up music entry<br />

• You will be comfortable using the function keys<br />

• You will learn how to add more bars<br />

• You will get acquainted with the mirroring concept<br />

• You will learn how to add and edit lyrics<br />

• You will learn how to add barlines<br />

• You will learn how to work with manual system breaks<br />

• You will learn how to space the staves<br />

• Finally, you will learn how to set the page margins to get good looking results.<br />

And remember: the more you use the manual now, the more time you will spare<br />

in the long run. (This tutorial assumes you have worked through chapter 2.)<br />

Open and print the Thou Knowest, Lord example, which is found in the Examples<br />

folder (this is the piece you are going to copy). After printing, close and do<br />

not save.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
